We are focused on reducing our Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 30% by 2030, using 2017 as our baseline. Looking ahead, we aim to achieve net zero emissions for Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG by 2050.

 

Our evolving strategies to reach these targets include increasing the use of renewable electricity, adopting low-carbon energy sources for steam production, and prioritizing energy and process efficiency initiatives.Beyond 2026, we plan to undertake significant initiatives like Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS), which will require substantial capital investments.

In 2015, global leaders united in a landmark commitment to safeguard the rights and welfare of all individuals on a prosperous, sustainable planet. This pledge was made through the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which outlines 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

 

We contribute to the UN Decade of Action through the UN SDGs, which are embedded in our strategy and purpose. We have prioritised six SDGs which we directly contribute to while linking and indirectly contributing to the other 12 SDGs.

To support diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging, we concentrate on gender equality, including people with disabilities, fair employment, skill development, and building an inclusive culture (SDG 5). Safety is crucial to us, and we aim for Zero Harm in all our operations (SDG 8).
Industrialization helps boost productivity, create jobs, and increase income, which is essential for reducing poverty and meeting development goals. It also promotes social inclusion, gender equality, and youth employment (SDG 9).
At Sasol, we focus on responsible consumption and production, which drives our success and innovation (SDG 12). We are dedicated to sustainability and aim to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, adapting our strategies as needed (SDG 13). Furthermore, we aim to create a positive impact on society by collaborating throughout the value chain and within the communities where we operate.
